Welcome to The Scottish Boinc Team boards. See forum rules in pinned post. If you can't be bothered then try not to be too naughty as I have a delete button to press and a ban hammer to swing.

Are you guys still working toward improving your position? I haven't seen a position update in a while. If so, I'm about done with one of my other goals and will be upgrading a WCG badge for the foreseeable future. Since you guys have come to our rescue so many times, I'll be glad to throw in my lot with TSBT for a bit.

Did anyone else notice that after the WCG server maintenance yesterday that all their machines became untrusted? Mine were 100% trusted with only 1/2 page of pendings on SCC, now that has increased to 61 pages. At this point I'm getting quorum of one, but during the re-trusting I got 100s of quorum of 2 wus.

Edit: Appears the validators are down according to their forum. Looks like a forced bunker that should advance TSBT another spot when it clears.

No obvious problems for me either, mixture of OET and Open Zika.
And, yes Sphynx, as scole says this is still a team priority although it's an ultra-marathon and the sheer tedium of the task can sometimes lead to some collective loss of focus.
But as of today we are up to 130th now!.
We have been helped considerably by your contribution over the last few days, plus of course scole's return to the fold, not to mention my relatively modest but steady efforts. [I'm hoping to get my RAC above 50K and to join you and scole in the top 1000 by total credit by the end of April. 1111th at present]
We are very pleased and grateful to have you on board!

Should gain at least one if not two places in the next two days ..... we shall see. The game is still afoot, closer and closer to top 100 and still most of the year to play for, out next year team statement could and probabily will be all projects in the top 100 ....

Nope. Sorry - didn't happen!
Not to worry. It's a case of slow but steady, & we are getting there.
We are 77th by RAC which, if sustained, makes top 100 by TC inevitable, if not necessarily imminent. The game is indeed very much afoot although it's a bloody long one.
Two more places by the end of April seems to be at least possible.
The important thing is that the stalwarts remain stalwart. And I intend to be the stalwarts' stalwart.
Of course any visiting Ubercrunchers are always welcome to lend a few dozen spare cores any time they can!

Yup we are now 128th.
But turbulent times lie ahead.
Fairleigh Dickinson University seem sure to overtake us soon, but we should be able to get 2 or 3 places further ahead before then!
Charge!!!! No let up!

Up to 128th now.
